In most cases, it is recommended to take your child for their very first dental visit by his or her first birthday. However, it is a good idea to see a pediatric dentist like Dr. Kurzweil when the first tooth appears.

What can I do at home to improve my child’s oral health?

The parent’s role in child tooth care is incredibly significant. You have the responsibility of making sure preventative care practices introduced in your dentist’s office are carried out at home. To help your child fight gum disease and minimize the likelihood of cavities, be sure that children brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and floss daily to remove plaque that develops between teeth and along the gumline. Your children should also consume a healthy, balanced diet that limits sugary or starchy foods that contribute to tooth decay.
